Working out ways to making videoblogging pay, is like working out a
way to make sitting at home playing dominos pay.*
It's the same with any amateur creative endeavour, in a short period
of time, new people end up with an inflated sense of self worth. In
our community, its because of a false equation that "we" are the same
as big media. i.e. they make content, they make money; I make
content, so I should make money.
Perhaps the equation should be: I make content, I don't make money;
they make content, so they shouldn't make any either.
With more and more free content coming out by the day, perhaps
instead of asking how to make money, people should either go and work
for a big media content provider (while they still exist), or have a
big long rational think about why they're videoblogging in the first
place, and ask the question: what's so special about me that someone
would want to pay me money?

making less than enough to live off. I'd prefer to get a real job.
